Thanks :)

[G60radoboi 10]

LOL, no worries. there are some sick examples of rados on this group. Drawing so much inspiration from them hahaha

[Portent 0]

If that's the car I think it is then it's a G60 previously owned on here. It used to be black (as in the pic) but more recently it was resprayed a BMW frosted silver colour.

[G60radoboi 10]

It looks stunning in that pic and is the overall look I am going for once I finally get my hands on a rado. Would love to know what wheels those are. Also if it is the one you think it is, linky to build thread if there is one..........

How do! Thanks for the kind words! :thumbleft: I'm glad somebody agrees about the Borbet A's as most seem to prefer the Borbet B's. I'll get the A's back on at some stage once sorted though as they are my fave wheel of all time with black centers.

 

Neil.

 

Some pics for you on both, and also the old design 90's that a mate of mine preferred over any of the Borbets lol.

Top job Riley! I will be on the lookout for a set of the A's myself. Can you confirm the sizes and offset of them so I know exactly what to ask for also your tyre sizes on those wheels as the look is perfect.

I too prefer the Borbet A's. That shot in the snow is really superb, the front looks just right with the headlight detailing and the orange indicators

No problem Jason...They (Borbet B's and Borbet A's) are all:

9x16

ET15

4x100

 

Tyres are all 215/40/16.

 

But! I had 6mm machined off the face of some new rear brake discs, which made them sit in a touch (Well 6mm!) at the rear. Worth bearing in mind that mine is a late model too (Wider front wings).

[G60radoboi 10]

Thanks Riley, yeam mine is a 95 model too so want to make sure I get the arches properly filled and the car properly stanced. Any particular reason for shaving the rear disc or was it just for show?

[nino 0]

Reason for taking 6mm off the rear discs was to allow the wheel to sit further in the wheel arch as when they were fitted, it did scrub. If you fitted more stretched tyres you could probably get away with it, personally Im not a fan of the stretched tyre look. With taking that 6mm off, thee was plenty of meat on the disc to bolt up to, so it as safe enough.

[G60radoboi 10]

mmmmmm i don't have the facilities to sheer discs so may have to go for a lesser size.

I do not just appreciate your sublime wheel choice mate your car is damn hard we will need to hook up at some show this year mate (i may surprise you with a couple of bit's i have been working on with the R32) i just wish the anniversary year was next year as i feel that's when i will be totally happy with it. I will probably be staying at a mate's in whitworth for Tatton so could possibly do it then would like nothing more than to be parked next to a car of the quality of your's :notworthy:

Any good engineering company should be able to put them in a lathe to machine the faces off.
